All you drivers know how hellish the potholes have been this winter.

Now Mayor Daley knows from first hand experience. It seems that last Tuesday, according to Michael Sneed’s column in Thursday’s Sun-Times, the Mayor’s Lincoln Town Car hit a pothole so big on Pulaski Ave., it flattened two of his tires.

And reporter Mary Wisniewski reported in Saturday’s Sun-Times that it’s been a record year for potholes in Chicago, as the city has filled 280,000 since December 1–a number equal to the total potholes filled last year.

Ouch!
